CHE 89th "Princess VictoriaVRegiment was rais- 
ed in Ireland in the year 1793 for service in con- 
sequence of the breaking out of the French Rev- 
olutionary War and saw service in Holland in 1794 
under the Duke of York, in Ireland during the rebel- 
lion of 1798, at the capture of Malta in 1800,and greatly 
distinguished itself in the campaign in Egypt under 
Sir Ralph Abercombie in 1801. After minor services in 
Ireland, South America and the Cape, the Regiment 
again won renown in Madras, Java and Sumatra for 
which it received special mention in the despatches of 
the ( Commander in ( Ihief. 

In 1803, when Napoleon was meditating the in- 
vasion of England, a 2nd Battalion was added to the 
89th, this Battalion appears to have been employed 
chiefly, on home service until the breaking out ofthe 
war with the United States in 1812, when it was em- 
barked for North America and arrived at Halifax on 
13th < >ctober, of that year, where it remained in garri- 
son until the Spring of 1813 and embarked for Quebec 
on 19th of .May. Arriving at Quebec on the 5th June, 
the regiment was immediately landed and pushed on 
to the scene of hostilities in the Upper Province. 
Marching the 400 miles to Kingston in nineteen days. 
Here the Light Company was detached for service 
under Major-Gen eral De Rottenberg, at that time en- 
camped near Fort < Jeorge, where the enemy had retired 
after the affair at Stoney Creek. This company had 
several severe engagements with the enemy and parti- 
cularly distinguished itself at Black Rock on 30th 
December and at the River Thames on the 4th March, 
following. 



Chrysler's Farm, November 11th, 1813. — 
Lieut. -( 'o]. .Morrison with the remaining ( Companies of 
the 89th were detained at Kingston to assist in its de- 
fence from an expected attack in force by < ieneral Wil- 
kinson,supported by a powerful squadron under Com- 
modore Chauncey. About 1st Nov. Gen 1 Wilkinson 
embarked his force and dropped down the St. Lawrence 
with a view of capturing Montreal. CoL Morrison 
with detachments of the 89th and 49th, and two (5 
pounders was ordered to act as a corps of observation, 
and if possible to harass the rear of ( Jen'l Wilkinson's 
army; receiving a reinforcement of militia and one 
gun while en route, he landed his force of 800 men at 
Point Iroquois, and advancing rapidly came up with 
a division of the enemy consisting of two brigades of 
infantry and a regiment of cavalry— between 3,000 and 
and 4000 men. with six field pieces-at ( Chrysler's Farm. 
Notwithstanding the disparity in numbers Col. Mor- 
rison engagedthe enemy, and after a hotly contested 
fight, drove him from the field in confusion. With a 
force now reduced to about 620 rankand file< Jol. Morri- 
son again pressed forward in pursuit. Gen '1 Wilkinson 
did not await his coming, but on the morning of the 
1 3th crossed the river with his whole force and retired 
within his own territory, and in February destroyed 
his camp and abandoned the expedition. 



Lundy's Lane July 25th, 1814. — The89thwas 
at York (now Toronto) when tidings came that Major- 
( ieneral Brown had crossed the Niagara with an army 
of 5000 men, and had worsted < Jen'l Riall at ( Jhippawa. 
Sir Gordon Drummond at once ordered forward the 
89th, who sailed on the 24th and arrived off Fort 
George at day light on the morning of the 25th, were 
disembarked, and marched immediately to Queenston. 
After a short halt they were hastened forward to 
Lundy's Lane, where Riall was threatened with an 
attack. The 89th with (ieneral Drummond at its 
head, arrived just in time to meet the first advance in 
force of the enemv. and it formed the Storm center o 



he conflict, its conspicuous gallantry throughout this 
anguinary engagement can best be described in the 
trords of General Drummond in his official despatch: 

"In the reiterated and determined attacks which the 
"enemy made on our centre, for the purpose of gaining, at 
"once,the crest of the position and our guns, the steadiness 
"and intrepidity displayed by the troops allotted for the 
"defence of that post were never surpassed ; they consisted 
"of the 2nd Battalion 89th Regiment, commanded by 
"Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, and, after the Lieutenant- 
"Colonel had been obliged to retire from the field by a 
"severe wound, by Major Clifford; a detachment of the 
"Royal Scots under Lieutenant-Colonel Hemphill, and after 
"he was killed, Lieutenant Frazer; a detachment of the 8th 
"(or King's) under Captain Campbell, Light Company 41st 
"Regiment under Captain Glew, with some detachments of 
"Militia under Lieutenant-Colonel Parry 103 Regiment. 
"These troops repeatedly, when hard pressed formed round 
"the colours of the 89th Regiment, and invariably repulsed 
"the desperate efforts made against them. On the right, 
"the steadiness and good countenance of the 1st Battalion 
"Royal Scots, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, on some 
"very trying occasions, excited my admiration." 

At Lundy's Lane the 89th lost according to the 
>11icial returns, 2 officers, 27 non-commissioned officers 
ind men killed. Eleven officers 177 non-commission- 
d officers and men wounded. Thirty-seven non-com- 
hissioned officers ami men missing. A total of 254 of 
11 ranks. 

A sketch of the 103rd Regiment will be published 
>n another occasion, but from the official returns we 
sarn that its losses at Lundy's Lane were: privates 
dlled. One officer and 46 non-commissioned officers 
ml men wounded. Three officers and 4 non-commis- 
ioned officers and men missing. A total of 60 of all 
anks.

To sing with heart and voice,

Far from the Mother land, 
Nobly we'll fall or stand 

By England's Queen; 
Through towns and forests free, 
Britons undaunted we 
Sing with loyalty,
